Fans of Golden Age mystery and exotic locales will love this long-out-of-print yarn set in 1930s China, during the war with Japan. At its center is Gimiendo Hernandez Quinto, who once rode with Pancho Villa but now trains fighters for Chiang Kai-shek...and solves the odd murder on the side. At his side is the dangerously beautiful Mountain of Virtue (don't play poker with her), and rounding out the list is a collection of international characters: a hard-drinking English journalist, an American cowboy as handy with a six-shooter as he is inept at romance, a young Chinese soldier weighed down with worries for his country and the Brooklyn Dodgers, and a host of others. Any of them could have killed Harrow, an ambulance driver who appears to have died three different times.
